It seems as though every morning I wake up in a daze. It's getting harder and harder to concentrate on the simplest of tasks. My sleeping habits have changed and I'm not as rested when I wake up. My to-do list seems to be getting longer as my productivity plummets. And I'm not just physically… Continue reading My Soul Needs Rest
What is happening? We are in the midst of a very scary time right now. It may be the most difficult and challenging time most of us have ever seen or gone through.

Sometimes your situation seems so dire and you see no possible way to change it. You don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything around you is dark and grim and you've lost all hope of things getting better. I'm sure that's how the widow in 1 Kings, chapter 17 felt. She… Continue reading Down to Your Last Little Bit
I've been experiencing some serious anger lately. I'm not talking about a little frustration or a moment of silently screaming to yourself.
